San Rafael man accused of fourth DUI after hit-and-run crash

A San Rafael man was arrested in at least his fourth DUI case early Monday morning after a hit-and-run collision in Terra Linda, police said.

Luis Fernando Davalos, 27, was booked into Marin County Jail pending further review by the district attorney's office. His bail is set at $75,000.

The collision occurred on southbound Highway 101 near Manuel T. Freitas Parkway, where a Toyota Camry rear-ended another car at about 55 mph, said Officer Patrick Roth of the California Highway Patrol. The Toyota left the freeway.

The woman driving the other car followed the Toyota and called police. The driver of the Toyota went into a residence on Merrydale Drive, and police quickly arrived to question him.

The suspect was identified as Davalos, who refused to answer questions or submit to a sobriety test, Roth said. Based on the odor of alcohol on Davalos, police arrested him.

The driver of the other car, a 55-year-old San Rafael woman, reported no injuries.

Davalos was booked on suspicion of driving intoxicated with three prior DUIs in the past decade, leaving the scene of a collision, driving with a suspended license for DUI and violating probation.
